Download or read book The Legacy of Mario Pieri in Geometry and Arithmetic written by Elena Anne Marchisotto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-05 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in a series of three volumes that comprehensively examine Mario Pieri’s life, mathematical work and influence. The book introduces readers to Pieri’s career and his studies in foundations, from both historical and modern viewpoints. Included in this volume are the first English translations, along with analyses, of two of his most important axiomatizations — one in arithmetic and one in geometry. The book combines an engaging exposition, little-known historical notes, exhaustive references and an excellent index. And yet the book requires no specialized experience in mathematical logic or the foundations of geometry.

Download or read book Einstein s Italian Mathematicians written by Judith R. Goodstein and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decade of the twentieth century as Albert Einstein began formulating a revolutionary theory of gravity, the Italian mathematician Gregorio Ricci was entering the later stages of what appeared to be a productive if not particularly memorable career, devoted largely to what his colleagues regarded as the dogged development of a mathematical language he called the absolute differential calculus. In 1912, the work of these two dedicated scientists would intersect—and physics and mathematics would never be the same. Einstein's Italian Mathematicians chronicles the lives and intellectual contributions of Ricci and his brilliant student Tullio Levi-Civita, including letters, interviews, memoranda, and other personal and professional papers, to tell the remarkable, little-known story of how two Italian academicians, of widely divergent backgrounds and temperaments, came to provide the indispensable mathematical foundation—today known as the tensor calculus—for general relativity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Autore ricostruisce la sua nascita e gli avvenimenti della sua infanzia in base alle testimonianze dei familiari inquadrando gli eventi in un contesto storico reale. Esamina le origini del Borgo dove è nato, le vicende dei suoi antenati che seguendo le aspirazioni di Francesco e dei suoi due figli, Amerigo e Santi, vi si trasferirono dando inizio alle due discendenze. Si interessa degli avvenimenti che riguardano suo nonno Santi e suo padre, occupandosi degli altri solo marginalmente, quando le vicende si intersecheranno. Ma il principale obbiettivo di queste memorie, alla luce degli avvenimenti narrati, è quello di rendere giustizia all'impegno profuso in ogni occasione della sua vita, alla correttezza del comportamento. Inoltre intende dimostrare come i desideri e la volontà di alcuni, ma soprattutto la falsità e l'egoismo di altri abbiano determinato condizioni sfavorevoli per se e per la sua famiglia pregiudicandone ogni risorsa futura.

Download or read book The Cult of Pythagoras written by Alberto A. Martinez and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this follow-up to his popular Science Secrets, Alberto A. Martinez discusses various popular myths from the history of mathematics: that Pythagoras proved the hypotenuse theorem, that Archimedes figured out how to test the purity of a gold crown while he was in a bathtub, that the Golden Ratio is in nature and ancient architecture, that the young Galois created group theory the night before the pistol duel that killed him, and more. Some stories are partly true, others are entirely false, but all show the power of invention in history. Pythagoras emerges as a symbol of the urge to conjecture and "fill in the gaps" of history. He has been credited with fundamental discoveries in mathematics and the sciences, yet there is nearly no evidence that he really contributed anything to such fields at all. This book asks: how does history change when we subtract the many small exaggerations and interpolations that writers have added for over two thousand years? The Cult of Pythagoras is also about invention in a positive sense. Most people view mathematical breakthroughs as "discoveries" rather than invention or creativity, believing that mathematics describes a realm of eternal ideas. But mathematicians have disagreed about what is possible and impossible, about what counts as a proof, and even about the results of certain operations. Was there ever invention in the history of concepts such as zero, negative numbers, imaginary numbers, quaternions, infinity, and infinitesimals? Martinez inspects a wealth of primary sources, in several languages, over a span of many centuries. By exploring disagreements and ambiguities in the history of the elements of mathematics, The Cult of Pythagoras dispels myths that obscure the actual origins of mathematical concepts. Martinez argues that an accurate history that analyzes myths reveals neglected aspects of mathematics that can encourage creativity in students and mathematicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'autrice ci mette davanti ad un cambiamento del comportamento nel rapporto dell'umanità nei confronti delle problematiche della pianificazione. […] Certo gli umani sono capaci di fare un paesaggio a mano, potrebbe addirittura essere una delle più belle maniere di agire sul territorio. (dalla presentazione di Gilles Clément) Fausta Occhipinti con “Paesaggi fatti a mano” ci propone un tema ambizioso, una sistematica revisione dei metodi e degli strumenti dello studio del paesaggio nell’università italiana, partendo dall’intuizione che sia necessario introdurre una sperimentazione applicata in costante confronto con i corsi teorici, e questo nel momento più recessivo della nostra storia recente, mentre il nostro Paese sta meticolosamente disinvestendo sul paesaggio, revocando anche quel poco che si era fatto, in particolare nelle scuole di architettura. (dalla presentazione di Franco Zagari) Come si diventa paesaggisti? Come si insegna il progetto di paesaggio? Questo ebook indaga il ruolo strategico della didattica di terreno nelle scuole di architettura del paesaggio in Europa. La ricerca mette in luce la relazione tra la formazione del paesaggista e il suo riconoscimento istituzionale in diversi contesti europei, con particolare riferimento a quello italiano e francese. Ne emerge che la scuola del paesaggio ideale dovrebbe intensificare l’interdisciplinarità applicata a casi reali, sperimentando sul campo, e orientare il progetto verso una committenza reale, migliorando il rapporto tra scuola e istituzioni, mondo professionale e società.
